Eastern State Penitentiary stands as a somber reminder of Americaâs brutal carceral system (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Crime and punishment in colonial America was a brutal business. Incarcerated people were barely fed, were often beaten, and fell ill from unsanitary conditions. Inspired by the benevolent Quaker tradition, Benjamin Rush and Benjamin Franklin decided, in the late 17th century, to institute a new system through which people in prison could atone by reflecting and reading the bible.

Netflixâs âA Different Worldâ is a great remake of the classic comedy with a ton of Philly connections (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Netflixâs A Different World, a reboot of the 1987 NBC original, is what I thought Bel-Air would be. It remains true to the original showâs characters: Whitley (Jasmine Guy) is still an entitled snob, Dwayne (Kadeem Hardison) remains as thoughtful as he is brilliant.

By Elizabeth Wellington, Amy S. Rosenberg This weekâs question (Have your own? Submit it here.): My fifth grader wants to take Regional Rail back from his downtown magnet school by himself. Heâs done a few weeks with an adult so he knows the route, and I can track him on my phone. But he doesnât have any buddies to walk back with. Is this crazy, or will it help foster independence? I want this to be OK, but my first thought is maybe fifth grade is a little too young? Elizabeth Wellington,
A treasure trove of jewelry awaits at the Woodmere Art Museumâs underground galleries (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Each time Theophilus Annor descends the stairs nestled underneath Frances M. Maguire Hallâs grand first-floor banister and into Woodmereâs Jewelry Vault, heâs humbled and proud. The 26-year-old metalsmith, 3D printer wiz, and graduate of Temple Universityâs Tyler School of Art and Architecture has a significant amount of bling on permanent display in the vault, which comprises the Woodmere Art Museumâs three underground galleries dedicated to baubles fashioned by Philadelphiaâs most
